They are already installed. Do I have to enlarge it for you?


The drivers are already installed.

Fake porsche means, it's not really a porsche. Sure it may have a porsche wheel, but it's not a real posche.


:P

The wheels have their differences, but for the matching quality of the Logitech and the Fanatecs, you'd have to pay a lot more for the Fanatec.

Yeah, driftmode pretty much makes the wheel turn faster, and is more responsive, and realistic.

I think it's pretty cool, but I'm satisfied with my G27.

Can you both please SHUT UP?!

The problem was solved, and the wheel was infact installed, dadge.

Windows installs the latest drivers for anything in the usb ports.

Now please, let's argue in MSN or something, not here.

My apologies, but: I HAVEN'T PLAYED LFS FOR 3+ YEARS.

And it's my first PC wheel.

pfft

Looking back at this, I feel really nooby.

But now I'm serious:

I like Fanatec wheels, I was interested in the Fanatec 911 Carrera, and the GT2.

The drift mode is really useful, because the G27 doesn't exactly turn as fast (well I don't really know how to put it).

The Fanatec shifter is horrible. First, it makes the world's loudest clicks when you shift, and the only easy way to mount it is on the immediate left or right side of the wheel.

The G27 had wayyy more buttons than the Fanatecs (they have 14) and the G27 has 20+.

But Bose, you have serious fanboyism, blocking me on youtube (on BOTH of my channels) because I said that your wheel lagged horribly, that's horrible.

I can't believe I applied to your team, and I'm glad I backed out.

Have fun with your fake Porsche!

1st and 3rd posts are done by 2 different users (well, 2 users with different usernames, anyway).

Huh?

I'm not porschedrifter, so don't confuse me with him. I was stating an irrelevant fact about my wheel (got it working again), and porshedrifter was selling the G27 because (I think) he wanted to buy the Fanatecs instead, and he just got the wheel and he wants to sell it now.

Clarified enough?

Windows 7 always downloads drivers for things in the USB port, and sometimes I hate it. A lot.

I have had the latest drivers since I got my wheel (3-4 wk +/-).

It's a Windows 7 bug I guess.

I'm not lying, there is infact wheel lag between the wheel and the game.

I'm actually surprised that you don't notice it. o.O

There's no serious reason to mod the G27, it's just that people like to have a different wheel, and it's so easy to mod this wheel.



And blocking me on youtube isn't going to change anything.

Your wheel lag SUCKS
It lags more than the G27

Have fun taking the wheel off.

Haha, how cute Bose.

I was complimenting the G27 pedals.

And, the Fanatec website show the specifications, and if you use the compare link, it says its a 12 inch wheel. The G27 is an 11 inch wheel.

All I'm saying is that you can easily mount the shifter lower, and you can modify EVERYTHING on the G27 (or G25). You can mod the FFB motors, wheel, paddle shifters, h-pattern shifter, the pedals, the springs on the pedals, you can modify the casing of the wheel, you can add a handbrake to it.

Please, tell me what you can modify on you Fanatec? I'd really like to know.

EDIT: And I meant the wheel rim, the other part of the wheel doesn't really matter.

But, the leather on this wheel feels a bit cheap, and the shift boot feels really fake.

Still, hit me with your best shot, bitch.

I am a G27 owner, and I have to say. The wheel is ****ing annoying. The leather on the wheel is coming off, it overheats after a short while, and the force feedback is LOUD AS HELL!

The wheel is smaller than the Fanatecs and it's thinner, but my hands are rather small, so it's fine.

I absolutely hate the push-down shifter, and this carpet grip system DOESN'T DO SHIT.

But the pedals are still pretty nice, and the force feedback is great. The gas an brake pedals DO in fact feel like a real car (tested on a ford explorer).

The clutch? Pfft I don't know.

Either way, I still prefer the G27 over the Fanatec, it's easy to modify and I hate being stared at by that Porsche logo when I'm driving a BMW.

[/rant]

So, I turned on my computer this morning and the problem is back. I tried recalibrating it, but it only made it worse.

I'm gonna be so mad if I have to reinstall the software EVERYTIME I boot up my computer.

A screenshot is attached. I took it on Friday, but it's that same problem as usual.

For everything in the last section, I have (I started playing LFS with Z28) it working in that area. I had that software you suggested downloading, so let's test it out.

...testing...

I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, and the problem is still there.

It's set to 900 degrees in the profiler and ingame, and it only turns like 25 degrees, making it impossible to play with the wheel.

...

Just recalibrated it, works great! Thanks!

So, I got my G27 for xmas, and I use it only on the weekends and it's not working in LFS.

I have downloaded the latest profiler, rebooted, played around with the axis' and still nothing. It works fine in RoR, but now it's to the point of not being able to play, and mouse makes me look like a mfing noob.

Any help?

btw, the most obvious ones have been canceled out, and 99% of what ur gonna say isnt gonna help either.

290 is cheaper for a new one, new G27's are 300$.

I think they are overpriced anyway, mine won't work on LFS (and I triend 99% of EVERYONE'S suggestions)

Oh wow, I think I smell 2 burnt bananas now. :O

I think it's currently a master-server bug, because skywatcher had recovered from this, because he was online last night.

I'll PM him.

And no, I haven't had this issue yet....

What about the Logitech Driving Force EX? I think that wheel has no pedals, but little triggers to work as pedals.

Google it.

Actually it's the Driving Force WIRELESS!

Quote from Artis89 :

Hi guys

I have never really been into making skins, but just because i couldn`t find a skin that would suit me currently, I decided to make my own... so I just finished my first skin and I am pretty excited
To me it looks just like I wanted it to be It`s ment to be a low budget bad a** drifter
I should give credit to guys from who I took the bodykit and parts, but I have so much different kits used in one, that ill just say thanks to everybody
I hope you like the skin and you could give some comments, if you have any









Thanks

Oh wow! That is an AWESOME skin!

rofl I saw this several weeks ago heheh

If you want to build a somewhat better wheel, here's a link:

http://ezinearticles.com/?How- ... uter-Games&id=1399507

It's somewhat like the RGT, except it's 720degrees and no force feedback.

STiggycz, you get 60FPS near 15 cars in LFS with a 5 YEAR OLD COMPUTER?!
HOLY SH*T!

I get 12fps near pits and a 20 cars in pits with an 8 MONTH OLD COMPUTER.
DAMN.
I hardly hit 30fps lulz

And no, the FPS won't change much depending on cars; it's relatively the same.

And, I'm curious, can you PM me you PC specs?

I dislike the idea of restricting, because it will only make some people buy the game, but most won't.

And since it would be restricted, people who couldn't afford it at the time or wasn't interested in buy it at the time would eventually lose interest and LFS Devs would be losing money.

Now, I'm still a little new to LFS (Joined May 14, '10) but the Demo as it was got really boring for me.
I recently got S2 as a gift and I have loved it since.

If the Demo was restricted, I would have ran away immediately, because most restricted demos and up being suckish games NO MATTER WHAT.
^^

I would not be here right now if the Demo was restricted, and the thing that urged me to buy S2 was because of larger servers, more cars, and serious drivers like me. Also, the cruise servers were a huge plus to me.

EDIT: Dadge and stiggycz, also I have heard that LFS runs on Linux, last time I checked it was true, so you wouldn't NEED Windows, you could run it on a free OS, good if you are on a Mac.
